To allocate physical interfaces to VDC from the config terminal mode type the VDC name and then allocate the physical interfaces as shown below by using the command “allocate interface”
N7000-ITKE01#configure t
N7000-ITKE01 (config)#vdc VDC-CORE1
N7000-ITKE01-DC-CORE1 (config-vdc)#allocate interface Ethernet1/1
N7000-ITKE01-DC-CORE1 (config-vdc)#allocate interface Ethernet1/2
N7000-ITKE01 -DC-CORE1 (config-vdc)#allocate interface Ethernet1/3
Now let’s verify the Interface allocation to the VDC by using following command ” show vdc membership”
N7000-ITKE01-DC-CORE1# show vdc membership
vdc_id:2 vdc_name: DC-CORE1 interfaces:
Ethernet1/1 Ethernet1/2 Ethernet1/3
Ethernet1/4 Ethernet1/5 Ethernet1/6
Ethernet1/7 Ethernet1/8 Ethernet1/9
Ethernet1/10 Ethernet1/11 Ethernet1/12
Ethernet1/13 Ethernet1/14 Ethernet1/15
Ethernet1/16 Ethernet1/17 Ethernet1/18
Ethernet1/19 Ethernet1/20 Ethernet1/21
Ethernet1/22 Ethernet1/23 Ethernet1/24
Ethernet1/25 Ethernet1/27 Ethernet1/29
Ethernet1/31
N7000-ITKE01-DC-CORE1#
In addition to interfaces other physical resources such as IPv4 router memory, IPv6 router memory, port-channels, SPAN sessions can be allocated to individual VDC.
